– United Workers is in the home stretch in the campaign to pass Question J -
the affordable housing trust fund ballot initiative. There are two key outreach
actions to educate voters about Question J: Email todd@unitedworkers.org to
volunteer.

The
group is looking for volunteers to cover key polling places with high "traffic".
Here are shifts to cover: 7 to 9 AM, 9 AM to noon, noon to 2 PM, 2 to 5 PM and
5 to 8 PM. In relationship to the polling station coverage (handing out
lit to voters on their way in), there is a need for polling captains that will
put up campaign signs in the early morning prior to the polls opening and
trouble shoot issues that arise during the day. Can you be a polling
captain? What shift(s) can you could take on? Can you volunteer to
spend a couple of hours in a district simply putting the Question J literature
in the door of targeted registered voters? Go to http://www.unitedworkers.org/.

-- Join an extraordinary global campaign for the elimination of nuclear
weapons: http://www.globalzero.org/sign-declaration.
A growing group of leaders around the world is calling for the elimination of
nuclear weapons and a majority of the global public agrees. This is an
historic window of opportunity. With momentum already building in favor
of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the
balance. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.

“One
is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems
impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through
nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total
inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel
Berrigan
